Up To 20 Whales Beach Themselves At Cape Cod

OTHER NEWS TO NOTE - NORTHEAST

September 30, 1991

TRURO, MASS. — As many as 20 pilot whales stranded themselves on a Cape Cod beach Sunday. The whales apparently were from a different pod than a group that went ashore nearby earlier this month, an expert said. Kathy Shorr of the Center for Coastal Studies in Provincetown said whales came ashore at Fisher Beach on Cape Cod Bay. Volunteers and officials coordinated the rescue effort. Within several hours, most of the whales were in shallow water a short distance offshore, but experts expected them to become stranded again. Shorr said the whales were from a different pod than a group that became stranded on Sept. 11 in Wellfleet.
